Hyrum ran home barefoot from a friend's house and actually blistered his feet on the AZ sidewalk (and Micah had to be his slave for the night).

School started, and Olympic fever spread to the Denton home. Thanks again for the video, Sam!
August 21st was my 43rd birthday, and I bravely posted my emotional struggles over the last few months. That post is still difficult for me to read, but as I compare where I was then to where I am now, I am grateful I put those thoughts into words.

Oh those poor feet! I really do not miss the AZ heat- two 1/2 years of it was enough for me. Love the thing about the lightning bugs. i grew up in the midwest so we would always go out and catch them and didn't think anything of it-- but yes it would be magical if didn't grow up with them.

Very impressed you made that cross country trip. Glad it was such a great one. LOVE the picture of Evie in your shoes, adorable.

Great recap! Oh and don't forget we thought it would be fun to add 5 goals/hopes as part of the last recap. That way when we recap the following year we can see if they came true.

that car picture is awesome. the bright colors and the kids all doing different crazy things are why i like it. i remember reading that foot story when it happened and thinking that is why i don't live in AZ! lol
